The date for the next River Bend Food Truck IS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24 AT 8:30 A.M.

River Bend Mobile Foodbank delivers food assistance at no charge to those in need in our community. This gift is made possible by grants from local businesses. Mulford has opened our facilities for this program. Process: When you arrive at Mulford, an attendant will guide you to a parking spot. Please wait in your vehicle for the doors to open to the public. When the River Bend FoodBank truck arrives, our team of volunteers will form an assembly line to unload the products that have been sent. Once unloaded, all of the items received will be counted so we know how much of each item has arrived. All items will be divided evenly by the number of families that have arrived and are waiting to be served. As the truck is being unloaded, other workers are preparing coffee and cookies to help your waiting time be more comfortable. There are rooms available to provide a waiting area for your protection from the winter cold and summer heat. When the doors open, one number per family unit will be given. You will be shown to a waiting area based on your number. Again, items are divided by the number of families that have arrived to be served. Those at the front of the line are not receiving more than those at the back of the line. Our youth will assist you with grocery carts loaned to us from our local Hy-Vee as you visit each table to receive the food items. We do not control what food items may arrive on the truck. Helpful Tips for a Smooth Process:

Please do not come to the church before 8:30 a.m.

Numbers will be handed out beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Doors will open at 9:30 a.m., not before.

Food distribution will begin when River Bend set-up is complete and items are counted.

Please bring your own bags and containers.

An adult representative from each household must be present to be served.

Arriving earlier than the posted times does not ensure a closer place in line.

Please remember that we are all volunteers. If the process seems to take a long time, that is because we are working to make sure everything is ready to help you receive the gift of food.
